NEST
Finding a birds nest revealed in winter as the leaves fall from the hedgerows is one of lifes' joys...
The architecture of these bird made structures both enthral and astonish me.
In my work I am not trying to copy these wondrous structures but to perhaps emulate the emotional connection we have with finding and treasuring a nest. Using paper as a starting point I add found materials from abandoned nests and inks made from the hedgerows...
Although a direct copy is not my intention, I do aim to study closely the particular species of nest and where and how they are made and have a life long passion for our native bird life and the protection needed of their nesting sites.
